I thought it appropriate to show the proper respect for Tony's memory, as well as for Charlie's, to have a separate thread for Tony.

As has been noted, he and his son Greg have been regulars at card shows for over 20 years. Without exception when I was at a show Tony's table would be one of the first I would visit, both to enjoy the banter and also to view what he had. His forte was vintage memorabilia with many items dating to the 19th century, the era I concentrate in. I can still picture him saying to me as I would walk up to his table, "I've been waiting for you."

When I was in at the National this year I had heard he was very ill and his prognosis was bad. So I wasn't surprised to hear of his passing. My condolences to Greg and his family and friends.

Although I didn't know Tony well I had met him on a few occasions, and did some business with him over the years. He was friendly and easy going, and I wish I knew him a little better.

I do know Greg and we have spoken on the phone and done business fairly regularly. My condolences to Greg and his entire family.

thread but knew Tony better. Again.....an interesting character. Always loved to look at the stuff in his cases. A mix of advertising, buttons, occasionally the card or two, guides, etc. Great stuff. Remember fondly selling him some mini bats, a Yankee Stadium police badge and many other items over the years. Condolences to Greg and Tony's family during this difficult time.............
